A multi-billion-pound north Manchester regeneration scheme is bringing thousands of new homes and jobs, and some are already benefiting.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The North Manchester Social Benefits Framework that accompanied the massive regeneration projects at Victoria North and North Manchester General Hospital has been refreshed. This strategic plan goes beyond just houses and jobs, with the heart of the vision for to bring a stronger, healthier North Manchester.\u202f\u202f\u00a0<\/p>\n

North Manchester Social Benefits Framework<\/p>\n

\"VictoriaA view from Collyhurst back into the city <\/p>\n

The \u00a36bn boost, fronted by Manchester council and FEC UK, Manchester University NHS Foundation Trust and Greater Manchester Mental Health NHS Foundation Trust, includes healthcare and social value.<\/p>\n

In addition to 4,911 jobs and the hundreds of houses already built, \u00a330m social value has also been generated by the framework. Social value is the positive impact a project has on society, going beyond purely financial returns.<\/p>\n

One person who has already benefited from this is Collyhurst resident Thomas Davies.<\/p>\n

The Collyhurst Skills Centre Graduate said: \u201cI was on benefits where I was getting \u00a3630 a month as a single parent.\u00a0My wage for today has just come through, and it\u2019s \u00a31,130 for just one week, which is a giant difference; it\u2019s massive.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s made a massive difference to my life and my child\u2019s life and everything, and I can\u2019t thank the skills people enough for supporting me through this.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

\n

\u201cIt\u2019s been absolutely brilliant\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

There are bound to be more like Thomas coming in the future, with the Victoria North regeneration programme<\/a> set to see up to 15,000 new homes built over the next 15 years. The new neighbourhoods would be scattered across 155 hectares between Victoria Train Station<\/a> and Queen\u2019s Park in Collyhurst.<\/p>\n

In order to push forward, the newly created 2025 Framework has five themes: Education, Skills, and Employment; Health and Wellbeing; Community Resilience; Digital; and Environmental.\u202f\u202f\u202f<\/p>\n

And to maximise delivery against the Framework outcomes, several core supporting initiatives have been designed:\u202f\u202f\u00a0<\/p>\n
